…py#29333) * BUG: Always return a real dtype from linalg.cond. Addresses numpygh-18304. The condition number of a matrix is the product of two norms, which are always non-negative and real-valued, so the condition number itself should be non-negative and real-valued. This commit returns the proper real dtype from `linalg.cond`, and includes tests for the condition number of a complex matrix in various norms. * ENH: Change type of complex results only. This commit addresses a reviewer comment on the blanket application of `abs(r)`. It specifically ensures the return type of complex-valued matrices will be the corresponding real type.

Backport of #29333.
Addresses gh-18304.
The condition number of a matrix is the product of two norms, which are
always non-negative and real-valued, so the condition number itself
should be non-negative and real-valued. This commit returns the proper
real dtype from
linalg.cond, and includes tests for the conditionnumber of a complex matrix in various norms.
The existing docstring for
linalg.condalready states that the return value iseither a float or inf, so the function behavior is now consistent with the
docstring.
